Experienced Municipal Security Professionals
For municipalities with critical security questions, BPS is ready to help:
- How can public buildings remain accessible to citizens while at the same time offering a safe environment to workers and visitors?
As specialists in municipal security, BPS knows that the two key issues of accessibility and security do not have to be mutually exclusive in the government sector. We have worked with countless municipal clients to mitigate threats and vulnerabilities while maintaining a commitment to their public service goals.
- While rare, active assailants are a factor for municipal governments and some high-profile security events have been associated with public hearings. Have your publicly accessible facilities been properly assessed for how you would respond to an active assailant?
Let BPS guide you through the risk assessment process and help you with workplace violence prevention.
- If you have employees working in potentially controversial service areas (such as denial of services, taking away services, or giving bad news to constituents), are they properly prepared to de-escalate the situation, and do they know when de-escalation is not going to work?
We can identify any gaps in your security as well as training needed to make your work spaces secure.
